Merit Badges

IEEE emeritbadges.org Program
The IEEE emeritbadges.org program has developed hands-on electricity and electronics instructional material based on the Boy Scouts' merit badge requirements. Instructional material for computer education is being developed. Any student, boy or girl can use the program to enhance technical literacy and learn more about viable engineering and other technical career options. The IEEE emeritbadges.org program will be sponsoring the Electricity Merit Badge and the Electronics Merit Badge booth at the 2010 National Scout Jamboree.

Merit Badges

Merit Badges are used by the Boy Scouts to help scouts increase their skill in an area of personal interest. There are over 100 merit badges available. Of this group, three badges, Electricity, Electronics, and Computers are in the IEEE field of interest. The IEEE emeritbadges.org Project is developing instructional material that can be used by global students – boys and girls, scouts, merit badge counselors, science & technology educators and the general public. The program can be used to enhance technical literacy and to provide information about viable engineering and other technical career options.
